This is our passion flowers first year. The vines that have started spreading along our cane supports are looking a little brown. Should we cut them right back or leave them, as its their first year? Kind regards Ann Tampli

It has glossy lobed leaves with seed pods. When should i prune it or train back
Thank you thats great
I believe the plant is a passion flower vine. There are many species with lobed leaves in the genus Passiflora. When it flowers you will be able to get a better identification.
Here is a article with some general information, including about pruning.

Hi, so I just came back from school and went to check on my plants as I normally do only to find out that two of my (yellow variation) passion fruit vines hooked on to one another. I was supposed to move the vines to the back of my house to grow there, except its not ready yet for any plants (I still need to set up walls/troughs to hold the dirt). Should I leave my passion fruit vines like this or should I untangle/cut them and keep them far away from one another? Also how deep do passion fruit vines need to be, because my pot I'm temporarily keeping them in is 10-12inches tall and I'd say bout 7-8 inches wide. For reference, I've attached a picture of this...phenomenon...

You can just untangle them when you are ready to plant them. There is no harm in breaking those tendrils, as they will just grow new replacements.
You will plant them up to the depth that they are now. Make sure not to go too much further than you have them now in soil. Try and plant them at the same level, or as close as possible.

The fruit on my passion fruit vine are shriveling up and dropping from the vine?
This could be a few different issues. Do you fertilize at least once per year? Is this in container or ground? This is mostly caused by under fertilization, but can be a fungal/bacterial infection, also. A photo will help me to make a better judgement call.

I have a passion flower vine in a pot that has outgrown the trellis I put it on. Can I untwine the shoots and put it on a new trellis, or would I hurt it that way? What would you suggest doing? Thank you.
I would suggest cutting the plant back pretty hard, say 2 or 3 feet of plant left sticking out of the ground, when it slows down in growth for the year. It may or may not go dormant in your area, so you if you can't wait until dormancy, then cutting them after the blooms and fruit drop will be your best option. You can, then, unwind what is left, and replace the trellis.
